This is one of my Common Place Book Entries and it is a collection of pictures from carnival and a piece of writing about carnival. The pictures are of my friends and I, rides and musicians such as Manoa DNA and Opihi Pickers. This is one of my favorite entries because I can go back and look at the pictures from carnival and remember the good times I had.
Charles: Thanks for the comment. I heard about that musical Mamma Mia when I was in Las Vegas four years ago, but I only saw the billboards. I'll try and find the songs and listen to them. Well, I can see that you had an enjoyable time at carnival. I was working the first shift and then went to my friend's house to relax. But my friends and I all went back to carnival and ate the food and played the games. I liked the video booth the best though. It was hilarious. My friends even submitted some entries to the video booth, but sadly, they were rejected. It's cool that we will be running carnival next year. I wonder what are theme will be....
Interview CPB

Interviewer: What are some of your favorite entries?

I also like the other entries because thy have pictures and I can look back at them and remember what happened.
Interviewer: Why did you choose to write about Wrigley Field?
Me: I choose to write about Wrigley Field because I go there almost every year, and I live it there. Also, the Cubs are my favorite baseball team and I have some great memories there.
Interviewer: I noticed that you made collages of surfing and basketball. Do you play both sports or watch them?
Me: Yes, I love playing basketball and I surf. Also, watching the NBA is one of my favorite things to do and once in a while I will watch surfing.
Interviewer: On your first quotes page you quoted John Wooden and Mike K. Why did you choose these two men and can you explain what type of an influence they had on you?
Me: I choose these two men because they are some of the best collage coaches in history. I think that they have a great influence on their players on and off the court. I have read books from both of these coaches and I try to learn how to be a better person and basketball player from them.
Interviewer: I really like your entry on your name. Where did you get the idea to do research on your name?
Me: I have a framed definition in Greek of my name in my room, so I wanted to know more about my name so I decided to do an entry on it.
Interviewer: It looked like you had a good time at carnival. What are some of the things that you did there?
Me: It was pretty fun; I hung out with my friends, went on a couple of rides, played games, listened to bands and ate a lot of food.
Interviewer: On your second page of quotes I noticed that you had quotes from all different people. Where did you find all of these quotes?
Me: I found all of these quotes in my planner as well as my first entry quote.
Interviewer: I’ve seen that you made an entry with some goals written down. Have you always written your goals down for yourself?
Me: Well, I’ve always had goals but I haven’t started writing them down until recently. I started writing them down after I took a sports psych class earlier this year.
Interviewer: Wow, it looked like you had an exciting trip to Las Vegas. What were some of the things you did and saw there?
Me: I did have a wonderful time, and I saw many hotels such as the Wynn. Caesar’s, Mandalay Bay, The Mirage, MGM, Treasure Island, California and many more. At these hotels I got to see things such as wildlife such as the rare white tigers, many sharks and even piranhas. Also, I shopped a lot, watched the NBA All Star game, went to a play called Mama Mia and went to Jam Session.
Interviewer: That sounds really interesting. Can you explain to me what Jam Session is?
Me: Jam Session is a place where you can do many fun activities such as shoot hoops, play five on five, receive free stuff, meet NBA players and buy basketball souvenirs such as basketball cards which I love.
Interviewer: Did you happen to see any NBA players?
Me: Actually I did, I saw Tracy McGrady, Deron Williams, Maurice Williams, Jordan Farmar, Kyle Lowry and Mark Jackson.
Interviewer: Thank you for letting me interview you and for helping me understand your common place book better.
